George Lucas Says Star Wars Changed Dramatically After the Sale to Disney

[Won Won]

It would've been George's thoughts filtered through one of them.

Sure

He should just do Star Wars with the serial numbers shaved off

The reason he sold it was because he couldn't make it on his own

Duh

He got loads of money!

You don't want to use your own money for the budget he didn't.

The OG trilogy really is GOAT

Revenge of the Sith still my favorite tho

Good interview. I must've missed where he said all that cause I didn't hear it in that clip... anyway, enjoy that bread you got and stay out of Disney business imo. He could've created another star wars with all the comments he been making. If you retired then let the chips fall.

Old heads love doing this. like yes we know its a new world. That's why you got lesbians and comic book writers on your shyt cause people like Rian Johnson get boo'ed when they try to do something new or have to get filtered through. The shadow of Lucas still hangs over the franchise.

Another thing is he sold not just Star Wars, but the entire Lucasfilm company. So any opportunity for original ideas has to go through Disney and they already weren't fukking with the original ideas he had back then. So it is what it is.

Lucasfilm is ran majority by women now that just want representation no matter the cost. Lucas denutted his whole company.

nikka.

This post huff as hell.
Just off the fact.
You tried to credit Rian Johnson hack ass.

nikka please.



Lucas is right.
Lucas made a mistake selling to the same inept people.
that made droids and black hole. Plus never made a relevent draw in generation x.
All that other shyt you said is bullshyt.


You do not even know any star wars history.

Just like those idiots & theft based hacks at Disney. The same Disney who was a art house thief as well.

Nobody told Rian Johnson to make Finn a bozo and have scenes like this

And this

I will have to checkout the interview. I feel they make too much Star Wars and maybe have expanded too much. I really don't even care about the franchise anymore lol.

Disney did take some of Lucas ideas for the sequel trilogy. Like having a female lead and Luke dying. Lucas shouldn’t never gave the franchise to Disney.

 

[mastermind]

Does he talk about how shytty Star Wars was until his ex-wife edited the fukk out of it and saved the day, and won an Oscar because of it?

When Lucas had full control of the direction, he made the garbage prequals.

The real heroes of the Star Wars universe are his ex-wife and the people who took on the IP to expand the universe.

Even back in 2012, when Disney bought Star Wars, I remember amusingly telling people that for a guy who just made $4 billion dollars, George Lucas looks like someone just shot his dog.

He knew. That look screams of the famous Star Wars quote, "I have a bad feeling about this."

Cry babies that only want the original trilogy is what ruined it.
I was on board with the lore George and company were creating. I find his view of The Force much more fascinating than the magic some people want it to be

What do you view his description of the force as?

I always synonomized it with “ki”, or “chi”

Disney has no interest in art of quality, they're focused on milking IPs until they're bone dry. Besides constantly hiring bad writers, not letting directors control sets etc I think a major problem is that they completely disagree with George about the essence of Star Wars. It is a fantasy series for children. It was never really "science fiction" in the way Star Trek or Dune were. It's a space opera serial, similar to the ones George enjoyed as a child. Disney has spent so much time obsessing over adult Star Wars fans that they've sucked any magic out of the product. There is no need for a "serious" Star Wars show with "adult themes." Focusing on appealing to man children who are going to consume just about anything anyway is a bad idea. The goal should always be to capture the imagination of children and make Star Wars something they anticipate, generation after generation. You can't do that while pumping out multiple shows a year, developing multiple spin off movies, etc.

The other weird thing I notice is obsession with endless growth and never ending consumption across the globe. Star Wars never had a problem with being accessible, it never had a problem appealing to different people around the globe, etc. Yet with nearly every show there's this weird corporate push to act like Star Wars was not for everyone until Disney stepped in. That girls, black people, etc didn't have a place until Disney trotted out some (half ___ed) characters for us, so we can finally understand Star Wars is for us too. This focus constantly results in bad shows and films where there's clearly more focus on creating derivative characters than telling fun or compelling stories. And the funny thing is no one really gives a ____ about the new characters beyond Mandolorian, and even that ____ got ruined super quick. It's just nonstop slop.

There's a big problem where there isn't a stable of talented, visionary writers coming up with fun stories VS a focus on re-hashing ____ with some random black character thrown in, that black people don't even ____ with. This should be writer driven, instead it's producer driven...

100% facts.

Star Wars was always about morality, family, spirituality, the hero’s journey, and pulpy adventure-serial styled storytelling … things that Disney doesn’t understand.

The OG trilogy had a story to tell.
The prequels had a story to tell.
Both trilogies told the complete story of Anakin Skywalker’s rise, fall, and redemption with a beginning middle and end.

Star Wars stopped being a story after Disney bought Lucasfilm. Now it’s just a corporate product.
